Date of Visit: April 2006 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: MAYFAIR 2 reviews from this member

 We have never been to a site with pool and entertainment before so this was a really new experience for us! On arrival reception was very easy to find and we were checked in an at our pitch within a few minutes. Nice large pitches (we have a huge tent), but a very narrow parking space alongside.
 
My biggest piece of advice would be to specify that you want a pitch away from the road (I wish someone had told me!) our tent backed onto the 'b road' and initially it didn't seem to busy, however from 5am on Monday morning the road was really busy, huge lorries just metres from our tent (they were screened, by trees and a bank but you couldn't ignore the noise), loads of cars and motorbikes zooming and the overall noise was awful, you couldn't have a conversation over it - however after 10 am it became more bearable.  Just a few pitches in from the road though, the traffic noise was hardly an issue at all - so be warned.  I did complain to the campsite as we were the only tent on the site and there were at least 60 tent pitches, yet we were put against the road when it really wasn't necessary - they did give me our last night half price which I thought was very decent.
 
At this time of year it was REALLY quiet the kids were often the only 4 people in the whole pool! Had a bit of a run in when they purchased an inflatable ring in the campsite shop, to be told they couldn't use it by the pool life gaurds, however the site did give us a full refund for it when we pointed out how ridiculous it was.
 
The shower blocks were a little dated, however they were superbly warm and there was loads of lovely hot water which we needed as it was  -1 overnight!  4 blocks and 3 showers in each, so guess it could be a bit busy in the summer months
 
The entertainment was OK, not exactly my cup of tea, but harmless enough and the children had a great time (they are teenagers and not easily impressed!)
 
We ate in the bar one night, food was good although the ordering at the bar was a bit painful, I think the girl was new! Had to moan about one part of it, we were told the meal came with Crusty brown bread,  but they supplied 2 slices of cheap brown rubbish - however they did sawp it for garlic bread when we pointed it out to them (the crusty was unavailable!)
 
On the whole we had a great holiday, the few problems we encountered were well handled by the management.
 
One final thing which left us a little miffed, we were threatened with having to pay for a half day extra as we had not vacated the pitch by 10am, this was at 10:05, we had until 11 or else!  This seemed very mean considering they had at least 60 free pitches and we had everything out of the tent and just the tent itself to come down, so we were not sitting sunning oursleves! 
 
I would recommend the site and will go back again, but not at high season!

Reviewer: Steve Gooner 5 reviews from this member

 This is a very pretty site with spacious tidy pitches. There are four very clean toilet blocks which are inspected regulary. The main complex has two swimming pools. One outdoor and the other indoor.Both are very clean,but the water is cold. The lounge which the good nightly entertainment takes place, has the most picturesque setting and overlooks a lake. Children are well catered for by having a large indoor soft play facility. Outside, there are two play areas and peddloes are available for hire on the lake. Sammy seahorse and friends are also a great hit with the kids. Food in the restaurant is a fair standard but the snack kiosk is rather greasy. All staff are very friendly and make your stay enjoyable. This is our favourite park and would recommend to all.

 We arrived the day after the kids broke up for the main summer holidays.
Had booked a normal pitch but decided we liked the look of the superior ones better, there were 2 wardens around most of the time, they were very helpful and arranged the change for us.

The pitches were the biggest and cleanest we have found anywhere. There were 3 toilet/shower blocks all immaculate. The site had something for everyone and although quite commercial, it wasn't in your face and if you didn't have to go through the arcade to get into the other facilities as in alot of other bigger camps. The entertainment was excellent even having arranged events for teens (don't forget their footy boots!) Saying this though when we were sitting in the 'van it was quite peaceful and we had many b'b'q's in our 'garden', (well the pitch was so big we felt we had our own garden!) Will definately go back.

Reviewer: Green Pesto 14 reviews from this member

 Big well run site. Very busy even in April. The bar was packed in the evenings so seating or even floor space was at a premium. The grass pitch we had was flat but the grass is over hard gravel so therefore difficult to get the tent pegs in. The road that runs along the side of the site has occassional heavy goods vehicles passing by often right through the night. This is a problem in a tent as the very hard ground vibrates as these lorries drive past. As a fisherman I would suggest that the owners consider an additional re-stocking of their lake if they are to advertise fishing on site. Facilities are good if a little over crowded ( including the pool ). Toilets are clean & warm.

 What a great site. Went to catch the end of the Fairford Air show. The facilities were excellent. Toilets were clean...... and kept clean. On site security was good (man on moped kept a regular patrol) the swimming pool and water shutes were fab. The evening entertaiment was very good and of a high standard the kids had a great time. The adventure playground and crazy golf were a good laugh. On site shop well stocked. All in all FAB ! If you want a quiet trip this is not the place however if you want to wear the kids out come on down! will be coming back next year! wish we could have stayed longer. A bit pricy but well worth it!

 Just got back from this very good site. The first thing that i was pleased with was the size of the pitches, easily fitted 9 berth dome tent, car and trailer plus gazeebo. Also it is the first site I have visited to find you are at least the recommended 6 metres apart from the next tent.

The site has a great club, swimming pools and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of amenities with 4 toilet/shower blocks so you are never far away.

The price I found to be very good under £15 per pitch for up to 6 people inc electric. We will definitely be returning here again but beware you need to book well in advance as it is very popular but not overcrowded

Reviewer: Mandy oh yes 2 reviews from this member

 We spent a fantastic week at this site, I was a bit worried about going after reading some of the previous reviews, however the site was clean the toilet blocks although old were regularly cleaned. The staff were all pleasant & the entertainment was very enjoyable. The best thing was the indoor swimming pool with its large slide, & it is free. Lots to do even if the weather is bad. Its also nice to wake up in the morning & see little bunnies running around ( great on the BBQ ) We will be going again.

 We visited the hoburne site for the swimming pool and the entertainment as we usually visit quieter sites. We will not be returning to this site. We first arrived on sammys birthday weekend so the entertainment was solely for kids. This didnt change even after the weekend.

The pitches were ok but the toilets were outdated and the toilets took ages to flush if someone had previously been before you. Often there were out of order toilets too. The showers were dreadful! They were old and push button which was very inconvinient.

The site was ok weekdays in the way of noise, however weekends the site was fully booked which meant that there was alot of noise, well into the night!

The site isnt bad for kids entertainment in the evenings, however we didnt have any kids in our party. The site does have a nice lake with peddalboats which was very good.

I wouldnt recommend this site especially because of the toilet blocks. The chemical waste facilities are emptied in the same place as the waste water and the dirty water did tend to come back at you.

We have been twice to this site this year and already to book again for a week in 05. We on both occasions found the site to be excellent and so much for the three of us to do. The wardens are very helpful but you do feel like they are watching you a lot and do a check around the site in their car several times a day.
The reception staff aren't very welcoming and do ignore you quite alot.
However we are very much looking forward to returning and a visit to the farn shop on the way to Cirencester is planned as they sell ace sausage.

Our second visit to this site (first visit 2003)

We like the location, the ammenities (pools, play areas) and facilities.

This visit we didnt use the bars or entertainment as the weather was so good, last year we spent a lot of time indoors to avoid the rain.

Pitches were very good with tarmac parking strips for the caravan with grass alongside for awnings etc.

Would recommend this site for families but it is expensive unless you make use of the facilities.
